As someone who is not a yogi or gymnast, I find your tutorials the most helpful. Your language around what you should be feeling or imagining is the best
Aww thank you :) Yes I do. Comes with feedback and a practice plan. Send an email to nataliereckert ÄT hotmail . de and then we can take it from there.
Ich schaffe den Press-HS noch immer nicht, denn ich muss weiterhin an meine Schulterkraft und eine flexiblere Brustwirbelsäule noch arbeiten. Dieses Video wird mir sicher weiter bringen. BTW, Welch wunderschönes, rundes Rücken! ❤lichen Dank, Natalie!
Danke dir wir immer :) der Press ist ein schwieriger move. Tuck planche ist da vielleicht für dich besser erreichbar, kann man auch gut mit Paralettes machen.
I see! I will try to make one, thank you for the suggestion. I have some videos in my Vimeo library too if you are workin on canes: vimeo.com/ondemand/handstandlibrary
The problem here seems to be that if I round both my back and my neck (i.e. chin down), then my eyes are looking behind me, and not on the floor between my hands. And if I try to look between my hands from that crunched position anyway, then the base of my neck in the back starts hurting. I suspect it may be some issue with shoulder mobility as well. It is more difficult to elevate arms to ears while rounding the back at the same time - this sort of blocks my shoulders.
Yes that is a good point, the trick is to drop the neck but keep the focus point between the hands by looking "up" at the floor. I find that in the press when the back is rounded a lot I shift my focus on the floor to a slight diagonal further than the base of the hands.
Very informative content as always. I found your channel about 3 months ago and I have been training the handstand the way you suggest and it has improved dramatically. I have a question though? Does the rounding of the back and pulling the stomach in apply to other skills such as the front lever or back lever? I noticed that the principles you use for the handstand to straighten and balance it seem very similar to most other skills used in calisthenics and gymnastics but I'm not sure if that's the case
I find that at the start of a planch or level the shoulder blades wrap around the shoulders (protract) but the lower the body goes the more they move into a retraction and to a straight back. So the round and straight back, when you mix them or do them at the same time, are strategies to brace/tense the back. Which mix of round/ straight you use is up to you as long as you create an efficient brace for the move you are trying to do. If that makes sense. For reference: th-cam.com/video/mKaQHWxAc-E/w-d-xo.html
I love your videos! I hope you can answer this question: when I do my handstands and push my hands into the floor, I feel like my hands are kind of pushing away from each other while pushing into the floor even though I’m trying to squeeze into my midline. Does this sound right?? TIA😌
In two arm handstands some people find it helps them to create an inwards squeeze with the hands and arms and some find the opposite, that creating an outwards push helps. As long as you elbows are locked out and the shoulders open and over the wrists, both strategies can work well.
@@NatalieReckert thank you for your answer 😊 following your videos I actually have improved a lot and I feel stronger instead of uncertain. I think you’re amazing with your explanations

Thank you for the lovely words. Internal imaging is so important for learning new physical skills.
I agree! The turtle neck thingy is a bit of a breakthrough for me!
❤
Thanks 👌
You ARE my favorite handstand teacher! Thank you for this video! Do you do private handstand lessons via zoom?
Aww thank you :) Yes I do. Comes with feedback and a practice plan. Send an email to nataliereckert ÄT hotmail . de and then we can take it from there.
Awesome. So anxious to get there.
Bit by bit and step by step goes the handstand walk :)
Your tips help a lot thanksgirl
Thank you!

Bitte entschuldige die vielen Schreibfehler und falsche Gramatik! Ich hatte es wieder einmal eilig gehabt. 🙃

@@NatalieReckert Danke für deinen Rat. Die mache ich auf meinen dip bars! 🙏
Please make a tutorial on how to do press handstands on hip height level surfaces? I can no problem muscle it on floor but at hip height i am stuck
I see! I will try to make one, thank you for the suggestion. I have some videos in my Vimeo library too if you are workin on canes: vimeo.com/ondemand/handstandlibrary
Please make a video about Handstand Q and A.

Front lever yes, back lever no. Think of it as 2 slight crescent moons in reverse
😍😍😍
